For me we should play our strongest team on Saturday, don't give Batley anything show em no mercy,at the Alamo General Santander Ana told his troops to play Nei Cio Merci, in other words no prisoners,Jukesy should do the same, show JK that he is Coach of the Year , not Kear.
As for balancing acts?I'm more of a custard pie man myself,can't wait for Saturday remember Hudds have to beat Leeds this week end, if they do and we beat Batley then we go top and put more pressure on Leeds for next week.

Remember we should have a record crowd this week end for the Championship games, the unveiling of the Kings Statue,and a chance to go unbeaten in the middle 8s, Party Time at the LSV ,what more can you ask for?Maybe Maurice doing a half time Streak,

, bring it on.Charlie knows.Let the good times roll.

Ian, would need Degsys private jet.

I expect training to have been intense since returning on Tuesday as every single one of the 27 man squad will want to play in front of a full house. Personally id expect to see a lot of the guys we havent seen much of in the first 5 games.. Which will mean talent such as Smith, Armstrong, Tonga, Burns, Fui, Spencer etc etc will get to play...

Should be the greatest day to date in LSV history...

I think you've sent us 600 in the East stand , 250 went in the 2 hours(10-12) they were available yesterday , available today 10-12 , tonight 6-8 and tomorrow 10 - 12 , we will get rid of them all

Thank you

Well done Bob,enjoy the day safe trip over and all the best for next season bud.

Cheers mate , we may meet in middle 8s next season

Surely that goes to Elton John - never to be surpassed

Good shout mate, for none Leigh RL - Elton takes it

North, West & South Stands now fully Sold Out. The last 2 blocks of the East Stand released are 75% sold. It's going to be rocking tomorrow.

Where does Elton take it Tipster ?

See the super court injunction for that

It's on the website, it's a sell out ladies and gentlemen!

Great to see the LSV full tomorrow.

It is full but not exactly a sell out.

Maybe neither of the above, Reffy. Might be a full take-up of tickets, but how many of those were snaffled by overenthusiastic fans hoping, after the rallying cries on this forum and elsewhere, to fill LSV, or indeed by scavenging touts. Bongser checked out which of his crew could make it before booking tickets and his allocation will, barring sudden calamity all be taken, wearing C&W and braying like the donkeys we are. I REALLY DO HOPE that the place is fuller than a Camel One special kebab, but mostly I hope for a home victory to inspire the first timers.

Go Leythe and, possibly for one time only, go Bladdersveldt.

I thought about getting 'one extra ticket' for my BIL who is a Saints fan but in the end just took my usual 3, me, the Dragon & Jr Centurion as I didn't get a reply quick enough when I asked if he wanted a ticket.

I hope I am wrong but I expect a good few empties where some greedy freeloaders have failed to take up their seats & failed to return them to the Club for reallocation to proper fans.

Still, the good RL fans 'of any Club' will easily outnumber them.

Will be amazing to see around 11,000 in the LSV.

Anyone know what the record is for a fixture between 2 Championship/2nd Division teams is ?

Suspect Cas v Hull KR in the Northern Rail cup final was the biggest.
Ours will probably be a Leigh record at the LSV and that's about it, not that long ago I'd have been happy to see us average 1,500 at the LSV let alone wonder if we'll break any attendance records!

Classy of Leigh to bar all of batleys players and staff from the bar post game. Makes your club look tinpot and petty. Hope every SL club pay you the same compliment when you play next year but I doubt they will as they are professionally run

Not bitter are you

. Wonder if that is actually the case though. Suppose there is always one that wants to gob off

John Kear was invited on stage and presented with an award from the club for his services to Rugby League so I am guessing that isn't entirely true?

Guess SL players don'the miss the urge to drink like Championship players. Seemed to be a full table of Batley directors/officials enjoying the clubs hospitality pre game. One of the few clubs who have done that this season.

As a matter of interest, do any of the players go in the 'bar' after the game - or is it the banqueting suite? (cafe, to Rhinos' supporters!

) I always thought the after-match presentations/speeches were in the banqueting suite?

Classy of Leigh & Derek Beaumont to give [iall visiting fans from ANY CLUB[/i fee tickets to the game & Classy of Batley players & fans to applaud the Leigh players & fans I thought ....

Classy of rhino phil to visit this board & have a dig about something he most probably hasn't got a clue about .... very Classy ......






*Or just plain dumb*

Think it was said somewhere that the legends bar was closed to all after the game as it was booked for a private function, I'd guess someone has got their knickers in a twist over nothing.

Good of the Batley players to form a guard of honour



And likewise from us Leythers to clap them off at the end
